For those of you who keep up to date with browser releases, Firefox 3.0.1 has recently been made available. If you’re currently running Firefox 3, you should be prompted to download the update at some point, or you can force an update by going to Help->Check for updates. Amongst other things, this release fixes three critical bugs, so updating as soon as possible is highly recommended.

If you’re still using Firefox 2, version 3 is now labelled as stable and so you might want to consider upgrading in the next couple of weeks. The third major version of the browser fixes lots of bugs and introduces a whole swathe of new features, and is well worth upgrading to. Unfortunately, the update function won’t allow you to update from version 2 to 3 automatically, so you’ll need to download the relevant binary for your system or wait for your package management tool to receive the update.

As always, the full 3.0.1 release notes are available (the link points to the European Mozilla site, but it contains the same information and remembers that I might want to download en-GB instead of en-US).
